I am flabbergasted by people who do the wrong thing but blames the victim for being unforgiving. Don’t, whatever religion you practice, pepper people with the phase “forgive and forget.” Face your deeds, make amends and when you do that person might be open to trusting you again, or they might choose to separate themselves from you. Thinking before acting is the recipe for not doing to others what you won’t do to yourself.
